I'm doing a wild guess here, but it looks like you haven't installed the 
fai-nfsroot on the install server.

Look for it in: http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/ or add 
the correct apt repository to your sources.list on the install server. 
(This is explained in the manual.)

I'm using 2.8.4.  This was the last version where FAI was in one 
package.  (Not counting the install kernel package).

Kind regards,
